Hockey Players

I saw a commercial and it had a dad who was a hockey player on the phone with his daughter and when he said "I love You", all his hockey teammates laughed at him. This was because the men think it is not very macho for a man, especially a tough hockey player to get sappy like that. It was funny because you think of hockey players as being tough and macho and to see him say that to his daughter was nice. I think his teammates also thought it was nice but were too macho to admit that they thought so, so they covered it up by laughing at him. Personally, I think it was nice of the dad to say that to his daughter in front of all them men, risking getting made fun of.
